Intro:

|Dm Dm/C |G7/B Bb |Am

|Am A |

Dm Dm/C G7/B G She's faced the hardest times you could imagine

Bb/C Bb/C F A And many times, Her eyes fought back the tears

Dm Dm/C G7/B Bb And when her youthful world was about to fall in

Bb/C Bb/C

Each time her slender shoulders,

Bb/C Bb/C

Bore the weight of all her fears

Bb/C Bb/C

And a sorrow no one hears

Bb Am Gm D Still rings in midnight silence in her ears

Bb C F

Let her cry for she's a lady

Bb A Dm

Let her dream for she's a child

Bb Am Gm

Let the rain fall down upon her

Bb/C Bb/C F She's a free and gentle flower growing wild

Bb F

And if by chance I should hold her Bb F

Let me hold her for a time

Bb F

But if allowed just one possession

Gm C F

I would pick her from the garden to be mine

Interlude: |Dm |Dm |Dm Dm/C |G7/B Bb | |A |A |

Dm Dm/C G7/B G Be careful how you touch her for she'll awaken

Bb/C Bb/C F A And sleep's the only freedom that she knows

Dm Dm/C G7/B Bb And when you walk into her eyes you won't believe

Bb/C Bb/C

The way she's always payin'

Bb/C Bb/C

For a debt she never owes

Bb/C Bb/C

And a silent wind still blows

Bb Am Gm D That only she can hear and so, she goes

Bb C F

Let her cry for she's a lady

Let her dream for she's a child

Let the rain fall down upon her

Bb/C Bb/C F She's a free and gentle flower growing wild

Let her dream for she's a child

Let the rain fall down upon her

Bb/C Bb/C F She's a free and gentle flower growing wild

She's a flower growing wild

She's free .......
